Growing sorghum?

I've recently become interested in growing sorghum,  mostly because i read that you can cook it as a whole grain, pop it and grind it into flour. I am having a hard time finding seed and figuring out which variety I'm looking for. I am not completely hooked on the idea of sorghum, though "nutty flavor" sounds appealing. I'm just looking for a multi-use grain to grow. I've had millet from the grocery before and found it to be bitter. I live in a dry climate though i do have acequia access (seasonal irrigation) and a dependable well. Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you checked local feed stores?

You might need to buy bulk and store some and freeze some.

Here are a couple of places I found:

welcome Megan. We have a few threads here on growing sorghum, several of us grow it for various reasons. I grow it for animal forage, I know others grow it for grain or for making syrup. I personally just buy mine at the local health food store and throw it down!
Pardon me for offering advice that wasn't asked for, but you may want to try buying and using it first before growing it. I find it makes a fabulous cooked whole grain for hot cereal (like cooked wheat berries, but better) and in the winter it is my breakfast. I haven't had great success with sorghum flour, but I also haven't put too much effort into it (since I like amaranth flour better and can get it easily).
In terms of growing, I find it tolerates drought (once its established) and temperature variations very well- almost no bugs bother it, it's a trooper. As a forage, it is cut-and-come-back, which is great for me.

this should be a good variety for your climate. I love sorghum, its such an easy to work with grain and flour. You can even make it into tortillas if you nixtamlize it.

Hi Anne. my local feed stores don't have it but thank you for the links. I'm particularly excited about the native seed link. i haven't been there before.

Tereza, thank you , i was wondering if the store bought stuff might just work. I should sprout some now to be sure that it's viable come time to sow it. would you grow a different variety for your animals that you would for human consumption?

Daniel, thanks for the link. I just grew blue corn last year and i've yet to nixtamalize it. So, interesting, i haven't heard or thought of doing it with other grains, though i did read another post on which you spoke about it. thank you!

If I were growing for grain, I'd find a different variety-- what i grow ultimately has small heads. To be fair, i grow sorghum crowded in the neglected corners of my garden and give it no care, which might explain the small heads; you figure what I bought was grown for grain so it should have a good yield... where i live i don't have many seed options, i can get red or white in the health food store, period. But there are Mennonites nearby who grow it and it gets taller than me with nice yields-- I'd go after that, maybe go make some new friends and trade seeds. In the US there are many more options for finding the variety you want.

Edited to add: i think i entirely missed the point of your question!!! I would totally grow the same variety-- the rabbits want the greens, not the grain, so everyone gets something if you share.
